If your care and support assessment shows that you have eligible needs, you can have a financial assessment to work out how much you’ll need to pay towards your care in your own home, in someone else’s home (shared lives), supported living or extra-care housing.

If you’re eligible for a personal budget, you can have this money as a direct payment. This means that you can arrange your support directly with the person or organisation you want to use instead of the council arranging services for you.
